Im going to throw together another PC just for surfing and weak games. I will also build a gaming one but just not now

[-Rooster-]

Actually...I wouldnt mind suggestions for mother board CPU and ram LOL.... I want DDR3 and quadcore.

[[*N*]Sal0713]

If you want DDR 3 then go for the intel.

[[*N*]Sal0713]

But recommend getting a bit more ram instead of just 2gb. I'm sure Goat will stop by and share his opinions with you.

Depends.. sounds like you DO want a gaming computer..!

 

Out of those 2 examplesi would pick the first one only because of the Motherboard, but they both would be fine for web surfing, & simple gaming.

 

But it sounds like you are wanting to go all the way right now, so there is plenty of other options.!

[[*N*]Sal0713]

Chili is right you can build a decent gaming pc cheap.

No I cant LOL

 

Im so going crazy! I have been looking at PC crap for 4 days straight!

Here is what I want /need;

 

Case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3829123&sku=T925-1258

 

Power supply (not sold on this one): http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4197094&sku=Q131-1060

 

CPU/RAM (Just seemed like decent price)- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3970768&sku=Q6700-4GB

 

Motherboard (I like it): http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4016444&sku=A455-2834

 

Video Card: Already have a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb, Want to reuse.

 

OS: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2571830&sku=M17-7503

 

 

Just the total here is about $850...Still need HDD and CD drives(Sata for both)

 

See what I mean :-\ I want better then this but I dont want to spend so much RITE NOW. Hmm...what to do!

 

[[*N*]Sal0713]

First of all I know what you mean about going crazy looking at PC stuff i went thou it 2 weeks ago LOL.

 

The Armor + is a beauty! not as bad-ass as my Cooler master HAF but is good. LOL The power supply 650W for 125? I paid 80 for my 750W but it's a non modular. I'm sure you can find a cheaper one lol. Asus is a good brand it was was recommended to me by a few people. Cd drives go to Newegg.com they are cheap. HDD ask Goat.

 

But if you don't want to spend much money now go for those things and later on you can always upgrade it, like the graphic card.

[Chili327]

Yea Rooster, if you are NOT going to build a gaming PC than you wont need that good of parts.., but if you ARE building a gaming PC you will DEFINITELY want a better graphics card..

Hell i think the new "Windows Vista" reccomends 256MB. (that 125MB card is not going to suit you well, eitherway you go) But if you insist on reusing it, then i would NOT go for the Gaming PC.

 

 

 

Gaming PC:

Buy (stick with)

- Case

- Motherboard

- CPU/RAM

- GFX Card (NEW)

- Better Power Supply

 

Reuse

Old copy of XP.

 

 

Web Surfing PC:

Buy

- Motherboard

- CPU/RAM (no need for 4GB)

 

Reuse

- GFX Card

- Old case*

- Power Supply*

- XP

 

 

*This also depends on what you have from the old PC.

If you could spend a little more money and look at the LGA 1366 socket motherboards and CPUs.
